Since the car is getting so close to drivable, I thought that it would be a good idea to redo the seat slides. The first shot is of three o
f the four slides and the mounting bars that go below the plywood floor. They were very stiff so they were taken apart and the balls that act as the bearings were rusty so they are being replaced. Next shot is of the sandblasted pieces. The last is of the painted pieces. One of the mounting bars was missing so I fabricated one of those. I'm going to allow the paint to cure for about a week before the slides get reassembled. There is certainly no rush on these and it is likely that replacing the little slide balls will cause some paint chipping. 
How is the plywood that was there? Going to go with new marine grade ply or stick with the existing?
ReplyDeleteThe plywood should be a 3/4" seven ply baltic plywood. Someone replaced the original with a marine grade 5 ply that is not in too bad a shape, but I will still likely replace it with the correct type. This marine grade is so ugly. I will show you a couple shots of it.
